This product has worked wonders for my own PMS. Remember the shopping cart lady in the Sarafem ads? That was me. Within a month of starting this product I was no longer experiencing teariness, irritability or even cramps with my menstrual periods. This supplement has a permanent place in my medicine cabinet!

1. GNC Women's Evening Primrose Oil 1300, Softgel Capsules

This is the brand that I personally prefer. This product offers the benefit of taking fewer capsules than some brands because it contains 1300 mg per capsule. When you initially begin using EPO, it is helpful to take a larger amount to help build up depleted stores of essential fatty acids.

2. GNC Women's Evening Primrose Oil, 500 mg Softgel Capsules

This is a product I feel confident recommending simply because it comes from GNC. I frequently use their products and have found them to be some of the most consistent quality products on the market.

3. Royal Brittany Evening Primrose Oil 1300 mg

This is another product I have had good experiences with. It is also available in a 1300 mg size dose for ease of use.
